Yes I'm afraid I know what I was getting into when I met Matt..I enjoy the cars too and say they are all mine to Matt's annoyance 😁plus it keeps him out of trouble..And the peace and quite I get when he is playing is priceless 😊.

A lot of effort and time spent moving..and still plenty to do..
6 Dafs and most of the spares moved..but the heavy stuff still to move.. (engines and transmissions)..
Then there is to sort all the parts out..racking up but a hugh pile of spares building up..😧..
Will get it all done..in time..but the old barn must be empty before the end of April..😓

Been a bit quiet this week..lack of funds and transport have held things up but all being well,the move should resume on Saturday..
Still a lot to move..9 Dafs have been moved,1 more to go..then about 2 large van loads of boxed parts/glass and then all the engines/transmissions..😓..we will get it done..
Most of what has already been moved is now on racks or stacked in order but all the spares will be stored tightly together..allowed only 5 bays for the spares but might have to re-think that as engines/transmissions will probably take up a bay between them..😕..
Nice to have space around each car..and finally can work on them without having to drag them outside like in previous storages..
Who would have thought I would fill a unit that's 160ft long..😁..mind you,I only have half of the unit,that's still 160ft in length,16 bays which are about 14ft in depth and about 10ft wide..but there is a large area in the middle of the unit which is no man's land..😉..and Dafs can be stored in this area..😊..
More Dafs are due in..and most will be sold on..possibly..and some large amount of spares will hopefully find new homes..anyone need a 66 bonnet?..😆..
Spares are still available but please be patient as the move MUST be completed by the end of April..
And the fact that we are all in a lockdown,only certain items are allowed to be posted through the post office..car parts are not considered as important..but orders can be held..and this will give me time to sort..
Thanks..
Matt.

Matt,
This is a bit of a long shot, but if, during your move you come across a set of bumper over-riders for a 33 I could save you the bother of transporting them all the way to your new premises.... I've found (to my shame!) that the bumper profile for a 33 is different to that of a 44, 55 66 or 46... Typical of the 33! As lock-down prevents much in the way of postage, just knowing you have them would be great-delivery can wait!

Hi Andrew..
I might be able to help there..I'm sure I saw a 33 bumper wearing over riders,will check when I can..
Do you still need the sun visor?

Yes, if it has a mirror on the back. Apparently the "deluxe" 33 cars had a mirror on the back, but mine hasn't and it should. P.M. me with costs & postage. No hurry-staying safe comes first!
